I don’t think the weight of the pull alone is the best way to answer the question. For myself, and only myself, I’m concerned with a crisp break that doesn’t feel spongy or starts to add load to the engagement when the pull has started. In my guns that usually falls into the 3.5 to 4.5 pound category. I don’t take pull weight in isolation as I see trigger pull as part of the gun speed, shell speed, gun balance, momentum, and recognized lead calculation that we go through subconsciously when we shoot.
